Yes, all of our officers are out there and most of them are probably reading
this. They are always hard at work in welcoming new members, preparing our
newsletters, and planning and working very hard on a conference that will
get us together with professionals from the medical, research and
national organizations like NIH and NORD. Some of them post here and some
feel they should respect the list as a forum for members expressions and
they should remain neutral as officers. They have e-mails on the TMA page
and welcome your direct contact at anytime. Please be planning to get to
Seattle and once you see these fine people who are VOLUNTEERS working so
hard for us you will be forever appreciative of them and the work they have
done to get us this far. No stone is unturned. They know all the people to
contact, governmental and otherwise. Get to know them and find out what you
can really do to help get answers for all of us. They need our help.
